Water, soil, air, radioactive, and visual pollution are discussed. Water pollution affects aquatic life and humans who consume contaminated water. Soil pollution occurs from improper waste storage and leaks, harming plant and animal life. Air pollution comes from vehicles and industry, releasing toxins that acidify water and damage crops. Radioactive pollution from nuclear plants releases radioisotopes with health impacts. Visual pollution overuse of advertisements affects aesthetics and individual health.

2. Water Pollution

3. Water Pollution:
Water pollution is any chemical, physical or biological change in water
quality that has a detrimental effect on anything that life consumes.
• Causes:
• The human being is the main cause of
water pollution, which can be affected
in many ways: with the dumping of
industrial waste; because of the
increase in temperatures, which cause
the alteration of water by decreasing
the oxygen in its composition
• Consequences:
• First, the disappearance of
biodiversity and aquatic ecosystems.
Also, the human being is greatly
harmed by the alteration in the food
chain and contracted diseases by
drinking or using contaminated water.

4. ground Pollution

5. ground pollution:
The contamination of the soil supposes the alteration of the terrestrial
surface with chemical substances that are harmful for the life in
different measure.
• Causes:
• The improper storage of waste, its
intentional or accidental spillage, the
accumulation of garbage on its surface
or the burying of it, as well as leaks in
surface or underground tanks due to
breakdowns or deficient
infrastructures are some of its main
causes.
• Consequences:
• The consequences can be suffered
silently, causing a constant trickle of
victims, whether human or animal
and plant species, as manifested.

6. Air Pollution

7. air pollution:
It is a special pollution, based on the alteration of gases suspended in
the atmosphere. Each of the problems that involve the atmosphere
• Causes:
• Any type of cars, heavy vehicles and
other means of transport are
presenting these details of
contamination being more or less
serious; according to the type of fuel
they use.
• Consequences:
• Thanks to the accumulation of toxic
gases and vapors; the air is
contaminated directly with a good
proportion of acids that fall into the
water of the rains; allowing damage
from the lands; until the crops of any
sowing.

8. Radioactive Pollution

9. radioactive pollution:
Radioactive contamination is also called nuclear pollution, and it is the one that
occurs from radioisotopes; which can be natural or artificial leaving endless
consequences in the surroundings in which they are established
• Causes:
• Nuclear plants:
It is one of the sources with radioactive
elements that are emitting malignant
substances to the whole environment;
despite being below legal limits.
• Consequences:
• The consequences of radioactive
contamination have the most
important effects at the level of
human health, being one of the main
effects that are generated.

10. Visual Pollution

11. visual contamination:
This contamination represents one of the types that many people do not know but that is directly
related to the aesthetics of a region but little by little it is progressively affecting the health of any
individual leaving an important environmental impact.
• Causes:
• It is not necessary that they be
luminous warnings to contaminate the
environment; it suffices that they are
described in great quantity as
advertisements and informative
• Consequences:
• From the billboards, the visual
contamination is usually highly
evident and is due to the high amount
of them that are distributed
throughout the city.
